STATE OF ARIZONA Title XX Social Services Block Grant Plan July 1, 2003 ? June 30, 2004 Introduction This document provides information on the types of activities supported and the categories or characteristics of individuals served under the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 97-35, Subtitle C - Block Grants for Social Services, which amends Title XX of the Social Security Act. The Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) under the statutory provisions of the law administers the Arizona Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Plan (the Plan). The program period covered corresponds to the State Fiscal Year 2004 (SFY-2004), which begins on July 1, 2003 and ends June 30, 2004. SFY-2004 overlaps portions of Federal Fiscal Year 2003 (FFY-2003) and FFY2004, which run from October 1 through September 30. The planned SFY-2004 SSBG funding levels for services were based on Arizona's FFY-2003 SSBG allocation and the "estimated" Arizona allocation of FFY2004 SSBG published on the DHHS/SSBG Web page. SSBG Planning Level The specific formula used to estimate the amount of federal SSBG funds, $31,866,443 that are available for funding the planned services during Arizona's SFY-2004 is calculated from one-fourth of Arizona's FFY-2003 allocation and three-fourths of the estimated FFY-2004 allocation. Since the actual allotment available to Arizona is determined pursuant to congressional and presidential approval, the services and planning levels identified are estimates. Also included in the total planned SFY-2004 SSBG fund of $54,485,243 are $22,618,800 of TANF Block Grant funds which are estimate to be transferred to the SSBG for funding services during SFY-2004. TANF Block Grant Funds Transferred to the SSBG The Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budget (OSPB) recommends for SFY-2004 that $22,618,800 of Arizona's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant be transferred to the SSBG for Children Services funding. SSBG Service Goals Arizona's SSBG-funded services will be directed toward one or more of the following federal goals: I. II. III. IV. V. Evaluation The appropriate administrations within DES contracting for services funded by the SSBG have the responsibility of monitoring and evaluating the social service programs funded by the SSBG.

Achieve or maintain economic self-support to prevent, reduce, or eliminate dependency. Achieve or maintain self-sufficiency, including reduction or prevention of dependency. Prevent or remedy neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interests or preserving, rehabilitating, or reunifying families. Prevent or reduce inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care, home-based care, or other forms of less intensive care. Secure referral or admission for institutional care when other forms of care are not appropriate or providing services to individuals in institutions.
Reporting on Activities Funded The DES will prepare a report on activities carried out with funds allocated in the Plan. The report may be used to determine the extent to which funds were spent in a manner consistent with the Plan. The Annual Report of Services Funded by the Social Services Block Grant for Fiscal Year 2003 will be available to the public after January 1, 2004. To obtain copies of this report, direct your request to the contact person at the telephone number or mailing address listed on page 3 of this Plan. SSBG Planning Process DES is responsible for planning and developing the Plan. This includes providing technical assistance to local planning bodies and Indian tribes for locally planned SSBG services. Planning for the use of the balance of available SSBG funds is accomplished as a part of the Department's annual budget development process. State-Planned Services The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), the Administration for Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), the Aging and Adult Administration (AAA), the Community Services Administration (CSA), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), and the Child Care Administration (CCA) within DES perform statewide planning activities by coordinating with similar and related programs of other state and local agencies, producing planning documents, fulfilling all federal statutory responsibilities accompanying the administration of programs, and, to varying degrees, involving local planning agencies in the development of a coordinated planning effort and review in local priorities for incorporation into statewide planning products. Locally Planned Services A significant amount of SSBG services are provided primarily through local service-delivery systems contracted by DES to augment state services and to respond to local needs. Arizona's six Councils of Governments (COGs) contract with DES to facilitate the primary planning for this portion of the SSBG service-delivery system. This primary planning is accomplished by identifying regional priorities, by coordinating planning with other planning entities, and by providing locally based citizen involvement opportunities. COG and Arizona Indian Tribes Allocations The following levels of funding made available for recommendations for locally planned SSBG services were determined according to a formula based on 50 percent population and 50 percent poverty in each local planning district. Approximately 24 percent of the total SSBG funds are available for locally planned services.

STATE OF ARIZONA Title XX Social Services Block Grant Plan July 1, 2003 ? June 30, 2004 Introduction This document provides information on the types of activities supported and the categories or characteristics of individuals served under the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 97-35, Subtitle C - Block Grants for Social Services, which amends Title XX of the Social Security Act. The Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) under the statutory provisions of the law administers the Arizona Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Plan (the Plan). The program period covered corresponds to the State Fiscal Year 2004 (SFY-2004), which begins on July 1, 2003 and ends June 30, 2004. SFY-2004 overlaps portions of Federal Fiscal Year 2003 (FFY-2003) and FFY2004, which run from October 1 through September 30. The planned SFY-2004 SSBG funding levels for services were based on Arizona's FFY-2003 SSBG allocation and the "estimated" Arizona allocation of FFY2004 SSBG published on the DHHS/SSBG Web page. SSBG Planning Level The specific formula used to estimate the amount of federal SSBG funds, $31,866,443 that are available for funding the planned services during Arizona's SFY-2004 is calculated from one-fourth of Arizona's FFY-2003 allocation and three-fourths of the estimated FFY-2004 allocation. Since the actual allotment available to Arizona is determined pursuant to congressional and presidential approval, the services and planning levels identified are estimates. Also included in the total planned SFY-2004 SSBG fund of $54,485,243 are $22,618,800 of TANF Block Grant funds which are estimate to be transferred to the SSBG for funding services during SFY-2004. TANF Block Grant Funds Transferred to the SSBG The Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budget (OSPB) recommends for SFY-2004 that $22,618,800 of Arizona's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant be transferred to the SSBG for Children Services funding. SSBG Service Goals Arizona's SSBG-funded services will be directed toward one or more of the following federal goals: I. II. III. IV. V. Evaluation The appropriate administrations within DES contracting for services funded by the SSBG have the responsibility of monitoring and evaluating the social service programs funded by the SSBG.
05-29-03 1
Achieve or maintain economic self-support to prevent, reduce, or eliminate dependency. Achieve or maintain self-sufficiency, including reduction or prevention of dependency. Prevent or remedy neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interests or preserving, rehabilitating, or reunifying families. Prevent or reduce inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care, home-based care, or other forms of less intensive care. Secure referral or admission for institutional care when other forms of care are not appropriate or providing services to individuals in institutions.
Reporting on Activities Funded The DES will prepare a report on activities carried out with funds allocated in the Plan. The report may be used to determine the extent to which funds were spent in a manner consistent with the Plan. The Annual Report of Services Funded by the Social Services Block Grant for Fiscal Year 2003 will be available to the public after January 1, 2004. To obtain copies of this report, direct your request to the contact person at the telephone number or mailing address listed on page 3 of this Plan. SSBG Planning Process DES is responsible for planning and developing the Plan. This includes providing technical assistance to local planning bodies and Indian tribes for locally planned SSBG services. Planning for the use of the balance of available SSBG funds is accomplished as a part of the Department's annual budget development process. State-Planned Services The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), the Administration for Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), the Aging and Adult Administration (AAA), the Community Services Administration (CSA), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), and the Child Care Administration (CCA) within DES perform statewide planning activities by coordinating with similar and related programs of other state and local agencies, producing planning documents, fulfilling all federal statutory responsibilities accompanying the administration of programs, and, to varying degrees, involving local planning agencies in the development of a coordinated planning effort and review in local priorities for incorporation into statewide planning products. Locally Planned Services A significant amount of SSBG services are provided primarily through local service-delivery systems contracted by DES to augment state services and to respond to local needs. Arizona's six Councils of Governments (COGs) contract with DES to facilitate the primary planning for this portion of the SSBG service-delivery system. This primary planning is accomplished by identifying regional priorities, by coordinating planning with other planning entities, and by providing locally based citizen involvement opportunities. COG and Arizona Indian Tribes Allocations The following levels of funding made available for recommendations for locally planned SSBG services were determined according to a formula based on 50 percent population and 50 percent poverty in each local planning district. Approximately 24 percent of the total SSBG funds are available for locally planned services.
